I wonder what it tastes like? Pine mushroom season is upon us here. They are paying upwards of $25 a pound right now. Lots of people in the woods looking.

I never saw one of these gorgeous fungal blooms before, Mary...I get the impression it is more suited to being looked at than to slicing into a salad.
Mary MacADNski: It is a beautiful mushroom isn't it? I don't know if it is edible.

wow, is it edible?
Mary MacADNski: I don't know if it's edible. I stick to the easily identified chanterelles.

Aren't these amazing! So transient in their nature. But be careful what you eat; there's been two deaths fairly close to me at home from people eating muchrooms that were poisonous.
Mary MacADNski: I wouldn't think of eating what I didn't know. Here I only pick and eat chanterelles.

A thing of beauty. Over here brightly coloured things is ignored until you see some animal eating it. But drab fungi are also poisonous - oh well. So I rather buy from reliable sources - make a very nice sauce and eat them with a steak and a glass of wine.
Mary MacADNski: I stick to what I know - Chanterelles and morels.
Wow! Wonderfull mushroom!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Jose Angel. I love finding unusual mushrooms.
